Fractional Co2 Laser - How Can It Benefit Your Skin?

Skin problems are very common among all age groups. However, once you start ageing, keeping that natural glow on your face is a struggle. This is because our skin goes through a lot of wear and tear in extreme conditions and gradually loses its radiance over time. Before you know it, you develop fine lines, wrinkles, scars and blemishes on the face. This not only leaves you devastated but also lowers your self-esteem and can be unappealing.

Essential beauty products may not be the solution to your skin problems because the results are not permanent. If you are looking for flawless skin, then laser treatment is the best way to go.

The last decade has seen major breakthroughs in the field of cosmetic surgery. One such discovery is the Fractional Co2 laser treatment, specially designed for skin rejuvenation.

What is Fractional Co2 Laser Treatment?

It is an ablative laser procedure that helps get rid of the thin layers of the skin. The treatment method aims to repair wrinkles, fine lines, and acne scars. It also improves your skin tone and repairs damage caused due to sun exposure, thereby making your skin appear smoother and spotless.

Areas that Fractional Co2 Laser treatment can perform on-

• Around the lips
• Around the eyes
• Blemishes on the forehead
• Acne scars on the cheeks
• Full face- for sun damage and fine lines
• Neck

Who can benefit from the procedure?

• Someone who has developed wrinkles, age spots or facial lines
• People with facial scars, blemishes, acne marks
• Uneven skin tone/pigmentation
• Someone with skin tan or damage

How does it work?

The Fractional Co2 (Carbon dioxide) Laser Resurfacing eliminates layers of the skin tissue in a fractionated manner. It removes columns of skin and leaves the surrounding area intact to help in the healing process.
The latest version of the Co2 Laser directs short-pulsed light energy or an intense beam of the laser to the targeted area. The laser heats up the underlying dermis, which results in the collagen fibres shrinking. Once the damage is repaired, the laser beam stimulates the natural regeneration of collagen in the skin and gives your skin a smoother appearance.

Benefits of Fractional Co2 Laser Treatment-

Fractional Co2 Laser treatment for skin rejuvenation has its own benefits-

• Results are noticeable and permanent
• Does not involve inserting needles or any surgical tools into the skin
• It is an outpatient treatment. The entire procedure takes about two hours. You need not stay over at the hospital.

What to expect after the treatment-

After the laser treatment, you may develop minor side effects such as a bacterial infection, change in your skin pigmentation, and minimal scarring. These are common and usually, do not require medical intervention.

Fractional Co2 Laser skin rejuvenating treatment promotes the production of new cells and collagen, and thus help you get rid of damaged, lifeless skin. All you can look forward to is healthy, smoother skin and an even complexion.
